Sh. Kim et al., LOCAL-STRUCTURE CHANGES AROUND CU ATOMS IN THE EARLY-STAGE OF NANOCRYSTALLINE FORMATION OF AMORPHOUS FE73.5CU1NB3SI13.5B9, JPN J A P 1, 32, 1993, pp. 676-678
Direct evidences that Cu atoms are directly associated with nano-cryst
alline formation in Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 (FINEMET) were obtained by fl
uorescence XAFS measurements. The XAFS results at the Cu K-edge have s
hown that the local structure around Cu atoms in FINEMET changes from
amorphous to fcc Cu prior to the bcc-FeSi precipitation.
